My long legged 14 year old daughter is rapidly out growing her fantastic 14.2h event / Pony Club pony. (For reference, photo is her on a 16.2h). Together they have done all PC teams and a season of BE90 very successfully and just started SJ at 1m. So now looking for a bigger version that can take her to the next stage in time.

Must have a good proven record (ideally BE or PC). Ideally something that loves it's jumping and is forward thinking, without being silly or spooky. And kind and genuine enough to be a first horse

Must be able to hack alone and in company as it's predominantly how we keep fit over winter due to limited facilities (although do regularly box up for flatwork and jumping lessons during the week). Not looking for something with potential.

Because I'm looking for experience, the ideal horse would be at least 7 or 8 years old unless it has had a lot of competition experience before then.

Would live in our small yard with 2 others, so must be ok in a quiet family yard environment.

Based in Devon, I’m a confident 16 year old Girl looking for a needle in a haystack.

I’m looking for my next forever horse after outgrowing my 13.3 22 year old Welsh cobXfell around 2 years ago. I didn’t look for anything sooner due to being busy with school and revising for GCSEs, I now have the time again to get back into horses.

I’m looking for a horse that is a confidence giver and something I can grow and bond with.

I don’t mind if anything is Marish as I had to deal with the most evilest mare possible so I’m used to it as long as they’re safe while being ridden.

I also don’t mind if the horse does “little spooks” such as a bird flying out of the hedge and the horse jumps Just as long as it doesn’t bolt or spin Around.

I don’t mind if certain areas do need Improving for example flatwork and also increasing jumping height as that will an opportunity to bond with the horse.

I’m looking for a 15hh- 15.3hh and between the ages of 6/7-13.

Would prefer if came with tack as well as rugs although this isn’t too much of an issue.

Willing to travel up to 150 miles But would prefer if the horse was based in south west area.

SOCIAL DISTANCING MUST BE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES

It's hard to believe nearly 2 months have passed since lock down began. We hope you're all staying safe and sane during this difficult time.

The British Equestrian Federation have reviewed their stance on riding and coaching, and the following developments have been announced:

Coaches can travel to yards for individual face-to-face training in controlled outdoor environments. They must ensure that the necessary measures, risk assessments and safeguarding provisions are put in place, including checking insurance cover with their providers.

Riders are now permitted to transport horses to a venue for an individual lesson or facility hire outdoors. Those involved in travelling to or from a venue must all be from the same household. Riders may meet with one other from outside their household, which may be a coach or other participant, all with the proviso that the appropriate social distancing and hygiene practices are in place.

Venues should conduct full risk assessments and ensure that the required public health, hygiene and social distancing measures are implemented effectively.

Social distancing must be observed at all times, as should public health, hygiene and biosecurity requirements. It is asked that the equestrian public consider the risk of their activity, and to ride or exercise where it is safe to do so and within the capabilities and fitness levels of them and their horse.

WANTED Small sensible and competitve family horse

To have a lovely, easy going and kind nature – easy to handle as will be at home with me on a small private yard and I go out to compete on my own.

To be the perfect hacking companion with me and my very young children and their ponies. Also to be very happy hacking on own.

Willing and capable to event BE 90/100 when my time allows. Level headed that doesn’t require work 5/6 x a week to keep sane. I will be having weekly instruction – both at home and at venues.

I have been lucky enough to own lovely horses all my life, and evented up to BE Novice, BD and BS, Team Chased etc.

I’m lacking confidence at present having had time off riding over the last few years (since having children and losing both my horses) so temperament is key above all else. He must have a generally calm nature to suit an amateur / busy mum.

Good budget available. Would prefer BE experience but not essential. Must travel happily on own in 3.5t lorry.

I don't have great reception at home so if it goes to VM please leave a message and I will call you back.

Family Horse wanted 15.2hh plus

Age, colour, breed irrelevant but must be good to hack alone and in company and must have done both regularly

Looking for a new family friend

15.2hh plus

Age, colour, breed irrelevant but must be good to hack alone and in company and must have done both regularly

Looking for a 15.2hh plus cob type or weight carrying gelding. Mares considered if fits all other criteria and not marish. Age, colour, breed irrelevant but must be good to hack alone and in company and must have done both regularly

I’m well aware horses are not machines and don’t mind them having the occasional jump or stop to look at something but no extreme reactions, not nappy, jig joggy or completely dead to leg and must be good riding in busy village environment, in open spaces and with all traffic including motorbikes, quads, cyclists and tractors etc

Happy to live out with shelter and company and not silly if not ridden consistently, particularly in winter when it may be weekends only. Not looking for a world beater, just a nice family horse, preferably with a bit of personality, to come to an experienced home where he / she will be loved and have a relatively easy life! Mainly for hacking and maybe some light schooling, low level jumping. The right horse will have a home for life

Would prefer to buy something that has some known history but will consider any if the temperament is right. Must also be good to shoe, clip, load and all the usual things

Decent budget for right horse but no silly prices as I’m not looking for a competition horse

A trial or short loan with view to buy would be perfect, but if not then will want to try a few times to ensure we’re right for each other. Must be open to vetting, although if there are any pre-existing issues, as long as they are declared it may not be a problem

I’m hoping I might find someone who maybe doesn’t want to deal with advertising but is thinking of selling and their choice of home is most important

If you think you have what I’m looking for, or even close to it, please do get in touch via email initially with details and location. I’m based South West but prepared to travel within reason (UK only)

I would eventually like to do low level BE / BD, but a kind, trainable temperament most important, along with being a nice character that enjoys a fuss and being spoilt rotten, so we can enjoy the journey along the way.

Age approx 7-9 yrs old but would consider younger if the right temperament and has experience of travelling / being ridden away from home.

Must be good to hack alone and in company in all types of traffic.

Must be happy to load, travel and go out and about alone and be easy to deal with away from home as I often go out on my own.

Happy for him to be green on the flat but would like a horse that is non spooky and easy to a fence.

Looking for sound and healthy horse and must be open to vetting.

I can offer a 5* forever home where the horse will be cherished. Good budget for the right horse, I'm ready to view as soon as restrictions are lifted.

I have had several horses in the past, but now I just need an uncomplicated, sound horse to fuss over and hack. An older, riding club type or cob looking for a quieter life would be ideal, but I would also consider any horse over 9 years old.

Must be excellent in traffic, to catch, shoe, load and clip.

I can offer a loving, experienced private home with year-round turnout, stabling and great hacking. I can provide references and would be happy to loan or buy.

My perfect horse would be 15.3 to16.3hh, safe, sensible and well mannered. To hack often but with no jumping. Not a plod, but equally, after a couple of bad experiences, I don’t have the confidence to deal with anything sharp, sensitive, hot or spooky. Sex not important but probably not a Thoroughbred.

Please only contact me if you think you can genuinely offer what I am asking for above.

I have a decent but not ridiculous budget.

Ideally within an hour or so of MK44 but I will travel a bit further for something which ticks all the boxes.

A vetting will be essential and equally I am open to any kind of vetting on the home I am offering.

Looking for a show quality coloured native or chunky Connemara gelding. Ideally 14.1-14.2. Nothing bigger. Must have been backed but I am happy to take on something green and slowly bring it on. Ideally 5-7 years old as I want as many years as possible with this pony.

Looking for a top quality pony to do a handful of shows a year. It won’t be over shown but will get regular outings to do dressage, low level jumping, pleasure rides, clinics, trips to the forest and beach, etc to have fun and variety.

The pony must sensibly hack alone and be easy enough to take out to clinics and shows by myself when I don’t have help.

He will be my only pony and live on a nearby DIY yard. It is very important that the pony enjoys fuss and attention. Tasks should take much longer than planned due to cuddles and scratches! I am very happy to keep in contact with the pony’s breeder and/or previous owner. Feel free to ask me questions to see if you think I will suit your pony.

I am in England and am happy to travel a reasonable distance. However, due to current circumstances this will be limited so please don’t reply with ponies based in Ireland as I do not want to buy unseen.

If a Connie, the pony needs to have been HWSD tested and either be clear or a carrier only.

My pony will be very difficult to replace so other registered large breed natives may be considered if they fit the above.
